Cold In The Shadows
Gather the ingredients. In a cocktail shaker, pour the Campari, lime juice, honey syrup, and raspberry liqueur. Whip shake (shake just a few times) and add the beer to the tin. Fill a highball glass with crushed ice. Strain the drink into the glass. Garnish with slices of orange and lime and add a straw. Serve and enjoy! Tips Honey syrup is essentially watered-down honey; the thinner sweetener blends more easily into cold drinks. To make it, stir equal parts of honey to water (however much you need) until you get an even consistency. Follow the recommended method for mixing this drink because it really does work out well. Adding the effervescent beer after the whip shake will finish mixing the drink for you. Fresh lime juice is highly recommended. The average lime will yield about 1 ounce, so you can squeeze it directly into the shaker. Maximize the juice by letting the fruit warm up to room temperature and rolling it under your palm with gentle pressure. Anderson Valley makes some great beer, but feel free to pour your favorite IPA. That style of beer pairs well with Campari—others may not, though they're worth trying. If, after the first few sips, you find the drink could use a little more beer, add it. The 1 1/2 ounces is one-eighth of a bottle, so you'll have plenty left over to pour extra as needed.

Gather the ingredients. In a blender, add the ice cream, chocolate and caramel syrups, spiced rum, crème de cacao, and Guinness. Blend until smooth. Pour into a tall glass. Garnish with whipped cream, caramel and chocolate syrups, and a spoonful of extra-crispy bacon crumbles. Serve and enjoy! Tips White crème de cacao can be used instead of the dark liqueur without affecting the taste. Typically, one is chosen over the other to control a drink's color, but this recipe is filled with dark ingredients so either chocolate liqueur will work. Packaged bacon bits work perfectly fine for the garnish. You can also fry or oven-bake bacon until it's really crispy. Let the cooked bacon cool, then chop it up into tiny bits using a food processor. They can be stored in the freezer and used whenever you need them.
